hopefully this will actually work this time...Eomer is the odd one out because he is of an "inferior"-bad terminology-race: Aragorn is of the Men of Numenor, Legolas is an Elf and Gandalf is Maia, but the Men of Rohan are stated to be of lesser make than those of Numenor...that's my answer at any rate [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nope and Nope although both guesses are good!

HINT: Transportation

lol oh ye of the cryptic clues!

HINT2: BAGGAGE [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Eomer? All the others carried baggage during their journeys at some stage. Eomer didn't.

NOPE

HINT3: " Baggage " [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Does it have something to do with the way they rode horses?

Horses YES - Riding style - NO - three of them carried the same thing around at various time - the 4th didn't

Gandalf because he rode shadowfax?

Legolas. the others carried swords.

Nope and Nope

HINT4: The "baggage" is something specific - it cant be carried on two or three different horses at the same time - sometimes one of them carried "it" along - other times one of the others carried "it" along - one of them never carried "it" along [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

specific...as in one of the hobbits??????????
I don't think Legolas ever carried a hobbit...the other three did tho, didn't they????
*memory loss*

Merry...alright I'm going for Merry...lol I could be utterly wrong [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] *shrugs*

Nope - but the is very good thinking Eowyn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - you are close, but you better forget the hobbit stuff [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

BtW: When did Eomer ever carrie a hobbit???

Gandalf because he never carried Gimli? Not that I remember when Aragorn carried Gimli either . . .

Hmmm

Gimli rode on Shadowfax with Gandalf from Fangorn Forrest to Edoras - Aragorn was odd out because Gimli never was one of his passengers...

So I had the right concept, but the wrong answer. Why don't you ask another, Telchar?

Gandalf
Frodo
Eomer
Aragorn

Frodo journeyed on foot not on horseback!!!
Frodo was the only Ring Bearer

Frodo never fought in any of the battles( Helms Deep, Pelannor, Morannon)

Frodo did travel on horse several times - still none of you are correct ...

HINT: It has something to do with what they own/carrie!

Did Eomer not carry a sword? That wd be strange if he didn't . . .

Off course Eomer had a sword Named Gúthwinë But you are very, very,very. very, very close - actually you are so close that if you got any closer I would have given it to you - [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ......... its all about their swords!!!

Was it that Guthwine was not a sword of Westernesse?

That doesn't work, because Glamdring and Sting were forged in Gondolin. Perhaps Guthinwë was the only one not to have existed in the First Age?

Legolas didn't carry a sword! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

1st of all - Beregond WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The Laurenendorian is right on the mark . Eomer didn't have a sword forged in the 1st age...

It must have been late... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

- Thorin
- Merry
- Oin
- Boromir
- Bombur

none of them had a son?

Would work, except that then we don't have an odd one out.

Merry was the only one alive at the end of the LOTR????

right, I though this was "one thing in common" [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
forgive me, I'm still in my tweens.
all of them had a brother except Bombur, who was a cousin to bifur and bofur? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

What do you mean by sick? Like something nasty?

wrong forum! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] oops!

OK, I'm just guessing. Is Boromir the odd man out?

Afterall, Boromir was present when Frodo wore the Ring, but Merry, Thorin, Bombur and Oin weren't. (They were, however, present when Bilbo wore the Ring and Boromir wasn't.)
NO! That doesn't work. Merry was at the Prancing Pony. YES! It does work. Merry wasn't in the common room - he went for a walk while Frodo was singing and dancing.

Alternative: Everyone listed except Boromir has been to Bag End.

Not, I'm afraid, the answer for which I sought.

Guthláf could be added to the list.

Bombur was not wounded or killed in battle?

Pray enlighten me - in which battle was Oin wounded or killed?

No one likes a smart-aleck, Lauren.

I thought maybe he was killed in Moria with Balin.
